As expected, ABC has cancelled The Gates after one season on the air. The ratings certainly didn’t dictate a second season and a couple weeks ago, series star Frank Grillo said that he’d heard unofficially that the show wouldn’t be back.
Though even actress Lindsay Lohan wanted to see it return, it’s now been confirmed that The Gates has indeed been cancelled. Some of the people connected with the show have tweeted about the series’ passing.
From the show’s Twitter feed comes, “We would like to thank our followers for sticking with us through this great journey.”
Gates creator Richard Hatem wrote simply, “Thanks to everyone who loved it. DVD set to be released…someday?”
Consulting producer and writer Robert Hewitt Wolfe tweeted, “Thank you to #TheGates fans, crew & cast for a great run. It was a blast. Seriously some of the best fans ever.” He later posted, “4 sale, lux devlpmnt/incrprtd town w/ upscale owners, prvt police/fire, exclnt school, occasional mysterious death”
Colton L Haynes wrote, “Was a great/fun experience and thk u all for coming along for the ride!. He followed that up with, “THE GATES cast and crew: thk u all for the good times! Learned alot and had a great summer with u all! Cheers to the future!” and posted this photo with #ripBrettCreski. Wolfe responded, “Sob… Too young!”
James Preston looks forward to the future, tweeting, “No worries gates fans follow us on to our new exciting roles!” Travis Caldwell echoed that sentiment, saying, “its all good more to come from all of us !!!”
Justin Miles wrote, “We gave em a hell of a run, though…” Janina Gavankar feels similarly, saying, “Sad. But we’re incredibly proud of what we made.”
Young McKaley Miller tweeted, “thank you guys for all the support!! seriously, y’all are awesome!! #TheGates is officially over, but it was such a great experience!! TY :)”
Andrea Powell wrote, “Thanks for all the love, fans of #TheGates. We’ll miss you! :-*”
Rachel Dipillo wrote, “We had a fun ride on The Gates. Love everyone I worked with and can’t wait to see what you do next! #RIPLEXIEWADE”
Grillo tweeted, “Thanks to all of you for supporting us. It made the whole thing worth it. Lots more fun stuff coming.” Grillo also said that he’d share what would have happened in the second season. After son Charlie is saved, Nick and his family would have stayed in the Gates community. The Radcliffs decide to take a break from one another. Leigh becomes the head of the police and Nick takes over the Gates board and oversees the community.
What do you think? Are you sorry that The Gates won’t be back for season two? What would you have liked to see happen?

Very stupid decision on the part of ABC!!! This show was great! The story line, the chemistry of the characters? Just don’t understand why this show with all of the other garbage ABC proudly displays every night. Very disappointed and hope that they will listen to the fans and give the show another chance. But then we are talking about corporate America and when have they ever really listened to their customers. The only thing worth watching on ABC in years was this show. Haven’t watched anything on ABC since The Gates left and don’t plan on it.
That really sucks. Why cancel all the good ones and yet keep the crappy ones.
The only show left worth watching on ABC now is Greys Anatomy. What are those idiots thinking. It was a good show and would have went up in ratings given the chance. I even got my husband to watch it. I hate all the reality tv crap. I have a life and I dont need to watch someone elses. ABC just keeps cancelling shows that I like and I have had about enough. I will not go any where near that station from now on except to watch Greys Anatomy. Theres always NBC and CBS with some interesting shows on… Read more »
Finally I am interested in a series and you people take if off the air. I do not think you all gave this show a chance. Pulled the plug way too quick.
That really does suck. I looked forward to that show every week. MY 10yr old son and I would watch it and loved it. It really should be picked up by another network. That show only had one season and not sure where they are counting their viewers but it certainly was not at my house or some others. My ex husband is in prison and he said every week they all watched it too. May not mean much but this show was being viewed I thought this show was great . I loved the season finale and was waiting… Read more »
This really sucks abc is so stupid
Thats the problem they take off show like Heroes everyone liked and they put on a lot of stupid ****.
I can’t beleive it I have been waiting for the return, I kept looking at my guide every week to find out when it will be back then today I just couldn’t wait any longer so went on line and OMG it will never be back I am sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had to google the show to find out if the Gates would
Return imagine my surprise. Learning that the show would not return was very disheartening. Please A B C bring the show back to life as you will not regret it this was a great show.
This really blows!! I have been waiting & waiting. My grandson & I watched this every week and could NOT wait for the new season!! What the crap happened? The show was awesome as were all of the actors. I think another station should pick up this series. If I could not watch the night it was on, I made sure I recorded the show so that I could watch as soon as possible. Hey, make a movie!!
WTF! We only just just season one in australia and i got so into it i downloaded all the episodes coz i couldnt wait a week to see the next one. Im so disapointed. Another network needs to give it a go. Abc can suck balls
That blows!!!! WTF!!! Abc is retarded they didnt even give it a chance for the show to actually take off!!! It was a great show and they need to put back or go to another network!!!
Sooooooooooooo disappointed that The Gates won’t be returning for a second season. I’m really ticked off at ABC – they gave up way too soon!!
